Enhancing Your Printing
For example, to print a title you may want to use double-wide
12
cpi
characters and print them in double-strike mode. You would-add
these three decimal numbers together to calculate the value of
n.

After calculating the value of
n,
you would use the Master Select
command to send the value to the printer.

Print quality and font selection are not part of.Master Select and
must be set separately, using the
ESC
x
and
ESC
k commands. The
draft font printing speed must be set using DIP switch
2-2.
(See the
section
‘on
‘setting DIP switches in Chapter

There are four more things to
cons@er
when
using the Master Select
command:
Master Select cancels any of th&list&
f&u-es
that you do not
set. For example, if you have.,&eadjl W&2
cpi,
and you try to
use Master Select to set
emph&

only, the
character spacing is reset to
10

and condensed.
Only

and double-i&de are available in

speed draft mode.
When emphasized and condensed are selected, emphasized is
ignored.
